Package: plymouth
Version: 0.8.5.1-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
For some reason, the system's root filesystem (ext4) had some errors that fsck
could not fix automatically.
Therefore, a maintenance shell was started to solve the problem manually, but
because of the first part of #602331, only after pressing ESC (twice) was the
console output displayed instead of the plymouth theme.
I don't know it this has anything to do with the bug, but when I installed this
system, the root account was disabled so that sudo is requiered to run commands
with root privileges (as in Ubuntu). The scritps responsable to launch the
maintenance shell said something about that (this was my mother on the phone
reading her notebook's screen in a terrible English) but correctly launched a
shell, without asking any password.
The bug is that when typing in the maintenance shell, nothing is echoed back to
the screen, as if one was entering a password. Blindly executing reset does not
fix the lack of echoing.
It would have been easier to remotely fix this on the phone if the maintenance
shell and init scripts messages had been localized and the user had been able
to see what she typed.
